Dinner Ritual by ~Photia tells an interesting, unusual side to the Beauty and the Beast story, and it does it with a wonderful technique.

Description

Every night, things become incredibly awkward at the dinner table when the Beast asks Beauty to marry him. Every night she refuses and takes her leave of him. She wishes that he would stop asking; he wishes that he could.

Did I say that I was over my Beauty and the Beast mania? Sorry, I must have meant to type not over it. Silly me.
I did this in Laurentien coloured pencils, which was an experience. Colour is, like, a million times harder than black and white. I could've done this in a third of the time using pencils. Still, I'll never learn if I don't keep trying! I messed up a lot of stuff, but it's still better than I expected, so I'm proud.

When I decided to colour this, I scanned in the pencil rough. It's up in Scraps if anyone wants to see it.

I like the roses, and the window.
Great placement of the characters.
